Holiday Cranberry Salad

There’s something about a deep red glistening Fresh Cranberry Salad…as tempting to look at as it is to taste…that makes an ordinary meal seem like a party.

1 package strawberry flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 package (1 lb.) Ocean Spray Fresh Cranberries, coarsely ground
2 medium apples, ground
3/4 cup sugar

Dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water. Chill until partially set. Mix ground cranberries and apples with the sugar and fold it into partially set gelatin. Pour into a 1 quart mold or six to eight individual molds. Chill until firm. Unmold on lettuce leaves and surround with fresh orange slices.
